SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 332,170, dated December8, 1885.

A Application filed May 25, 1885. Serial No. 166,617. (No model.)

Y. .To all whom it may concern: Y

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM S'roLER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and ;y State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inSash-Fasteners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the l, invention, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification, inwhich- Figure 1 is a perspective of fastener on sashes with lever thrownback. Fig. 2 is a "x-vertical section of fastener. Fig. 3 is aver-.tical section of box. Fig. 4 is a perspective Fig. 5 is an 'invertedplan of botptom of box. My invention has for its object to provide fasimple and comparatively inexpensive form4 of sash-fastener soconstructed that while it may be readily secured and released from the`inside of a window any attempt from the toutside to raise the lowersash or to lower the y upper sash will only tend to increase the se-.5""curity of the fastening.

My invention consists of a fastener composed of three pieces-viz., a boxor bracket adapted and designed to be fastened t0 the lower sash, alocking-lever fulcrumed in said 3o bracket, and a plate adapted anddesigned to be fastened to the upper sash and carrying a segmental orcurved stud under which the outer end of the locking-lever fits, asherein- 4after fully set forth.

My invention further consists in the combination,with the lever,of alocking-pin, substantiallyas hereinafter set forth.

Referring to the accompanying drawings,

A` designates a box or bracket having a boto tom a sides c' c and end a2said bracket 4 7 7 I 7 E represents a plate havingholes for screwsPATENT OFFICE.

The lever may now be freely e e, by which it is fastened to the uppersash, F. Said plate has a standard, G, wh1ch 1s segmental in form, or,at least, concave on its inner side or side adjacent to bracket A.

In operation the end d2 of lever D passes n by a swinging motion understandard G, just touching the concave side of latter to prevent rattlingof the sashes, and rests on the upper edge of end a". While in thisposltlon 1f any attempt be made to raise the lower sash or lower theupper sash the lever wedges or becomesbound between the side a ofbracket A and standard G and resists the attempt. The fastening can onlybe released by throwing back the lever or causing it to rock backwardlyon its trunnions. To facilitate movement of the lever, it may have r abutton or ring.

- To lock the lever so that it cannotube raised by a wire orv otherdevice insertedjbetween the meeting-rails of the sashes, a hole, d, isformed in it receiving apin, I. This pin may be of such constructionthat it` can be wholly withdrawn, being secured from losslby anattaching-chain; but I prefer to construct it in the form of a slidingstaple or bent wire,whose short leg, i, enters the opening d4, its longleg, i, fitting in a groove, H, which terminates in an enlarged recess,h, in the bottom of bracket A, that receives a head, i2, on the innerend will prevent the pin from being withdrawn any farther than isnecessary to allow the'end of leg t' to clear lever D. The leverW-D mayhave a notch, d5, for the passage of leg What I claim as Iny inventionis as follows:

1. A sash-fastener composed of bracket A, lever D, and plate E, havinglsegmental or concave-sided standard G, said lever, when the fastening iseffected, fitting beneath the standard, substantiallyjas shown anddescribed.

2. Ina sash-fastener comprising a bracket, a lever, and a standard, thebracket A, having aslot, C, and` recesses ai, in combination with leverD, having trunnions d d, substantially as shown and described.

3. In a sash-fastener, the combination,with oscillating lever D,fulcrumed in bracket A, of locking-pin I, fitting in an opening in saidlever, snbstantiallylas described.

4. In avsashfastener, the'oombinabiomwith havel hereunto set my; handthisflllthA day of bracket A, having groove Hand. recess h,and May,-1885. l oscillating lever D, fulcrnnied therein and having opening d, oflooking pin or staple I, 5 having a head, 2, on one of its legs, i',sub- Witnesses:
